2019-20 Season

[Zimmerman]

Oh yes, someone had mentioned that.

Would be good if they can implement the engine for it without issue.

[Jules]

The fixtures are out!

Tough start for Norwich... Liverpool away to start with and then home games against Chelsea and Man City in their next four.

At least they’ll be even cheaper ready for their more reasonable run of games.

[Jules]

How favourable do Man City’s first fixtures look compared to Liverpool?!

City have Spurs at home in their second game and then don’t play another top 6 side until match day 12.

Liverpool have to play four top 6 sides in that period although they do have an extra game against Chelsea (presuming the Super Cup counts for DreamTeam?)

[Zimmerman]

Obviously we’d need to factor in Cup games for sun purposes

It's already time to start looking towards next season as the 2019/2020 fixtures have been released:

Who do you think are early stand-outs for FPL purposes, good or bad?

[BLOCKHEAD]

That's Norwich down before a ball is even kicked.

Harsh, but fair.

Everton fixtures are great to start so a couple of enablers from them and the usual get sucked into the wolves in Europa league extra games ,all that to go with a good few big hitters should get a decent team in budget even if they bring in the 3 player per team rule

[lfc71]

[Nightowl]

Big call with spurs n maguire there nightowl

Maguire to end up at city and don't think Liverpool or city will achieve nowhere near the same points tally this year, I expect teams to be even more negative against them this year and think they may draw a lot more then Spurs just sneak under the radar with a fully fit all season Kane

[Zimmerman]

You don’t go from losing 20 games to overhauling a team that has score 200 points in the last two seasons.

[Nightowl]

The same as it's under heard of hitting that many points each season, city and Liverpool both were only hitting the 70 odd points b4 all this happened there's no way the bar will stay that high, Spurs were there for a good part this season but a lot didn't go their way i.e. Kane injuries, moving stadiums I don't know how many times champions league run those things all came at once and I just don't think they were ready for it, they may fold or they might go again who knows just my opinion

[Backlash]

It’s hard to keep track of all this Predictor hairy ollocks.

Hopefully this season they’ll knock it on the head.

I’m now currently doing the Cricket World Cup the Women's Football World Cup; and if that wasn’t enough already....today they’ve added Ascot

Stick to paying out on the main game!

[Nightowl]

7: how many points will win you the league this year 88pts

[WNP]

Richarlison always starts strong before disappearing into obscurity for the rest of the season, could be a good option to raise the budget early on.

The bar will stay that high - Pep Guardiola is an absolute machine. Look at some of the points totals he was getting with Barca and Bayern.

[MADCHESTER UTD]

1. Liverpool
2. Salah Golden boot
3. VVD top point scoring DT defender
4. Sterling top point scoring DT mid
5. Salah top point scoring DT striker
6. Liverpool most cleans in PL
7. Liverpool 93 points, city 92

I Think City will prioritise on winning CL this season (which they will) and Liverpool will primarily concentrate on Prem (again I think klopp will take domestic cups lightly) so might just reverse positions from 18/19. Though keeping fab 3 up front fit is crucial for that to happen. I’m biased but I think Utd will finish 3rd and have a far better season with this team

......................Oblak........................
Wan bissakka....Maguire(c)/Toby..lindelof..shaw
...............Mctominery..Tielemans............................B Fernandez/rakitic/Eriksen............
.......BALE........Rashford.......Zaha.......

Sanchez DDG pogba martial lukaku out.

Just need to spend half a billion and hope the likes of bale and rakitic or Eriksen will go for Europa league glory

[Zimmerman]

So just the 8 new signings

a) never going to happen
b) would end in tears

[MADCHESTER UTD]

So just the 8 new signings

a) never going to happen
b) would end in tears

Yeah I know it would never happen but I wish it would. Sod bringing 2 or 3 in, Utd need 6 or 7 and a clear out. I’d just blow 3 summer transfer budgets in one go. Bring in young hungry players like wan bissakka, Maguire, tielemans, Danny James, Maddison (if we can’t get Eriksen rakitic or Bruno Fernandez) and ready made superstar match winner Bale

Totally agree!! Keep the money pot for the premiership football

[jpk]

Prize pool shrink

[BLOCKHEAD]

They need to accept their business model failed and go back to charging entry fees. Otherwise, these continued prize pot deductions every season will lead to the death of this game.

[CBN]

Prize for Big Balls will be bigger

You win a pencil case in FPL and it has 6m players.

Maybe they’ve cottoned on to the fact that people play regardless. The vast majority play the game for fun, bragging rights and/or winning friends leagues.

The lure of a £50k win (or whatever it is) is still epic enough to appear like a lottery win for whomever is lucky enough to scoop.

[RickyRosa]

Proper disappointed with the prize pool

Would gladly pay to play....i just don’t understand why they wouldn’t....

What do you think to 3 will look like?

100k for 1st; 20k for 2nd and 10k for 3rd or 50k, 20k, 10k?
